Hi Rabab,

You could use catdcd to break the dcd into smaller parts and then
analyze them one at a time, and then join the log files back together.
I guess the other option is to use bigdcd, although I have never
played around with this. The later may be preferable if you don't want
to double the memory used on your hard drive by duplicating the
trajectory in smaller pieces.
